+3 geek cred to explain the stripes.
Your stripes look similar to the graphics on a X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars. Car looks nice

I like to think of my MINI as having a more Imperial Guard look

Took a trip to Central Coast California last week.



Spotted another Clubman on 17 Mile Drive - had to get a picture of mine parked next to his!







And here are a few pictures I took that i'm just proud of.

I may catch some flack from some die-hard Classic Mini buffs at some point... But I opted to swap out the "Cooper S" badging for something a little more "retro" - from an original Mini Clubman.

I found it on eBay (from a seller in Essex, England, no less) for a few 'quid'.

Haha, funny, I have seen you driving around a couple of times in D.C. I always gaze longingly at your Clubman, very nicely done.

Thanks a lot, guys! I figured modern Clubman owners wouldn't mind my "re-badging" too much. I appreciate it.

Yeah, D.C. really is a small city... I see several of the same Coopers / Clubmans quite often. There's a cool hot chocolate Clubman always parked in Dupont, a JCW in Foggy Bottom (which always makes me drool), and several others.

I've even seen the guy who originally started this topic (Krut) zipping around town.

Wave "hi" next time!

these are original headlights from mini-individual.de in germany. they have daylights (integrated in the original bulbs around the xenon) and you can have them with black interior or in oem - only the price is a bit (1600,00 € - about 2250,00 $)
